Types

type Config

type Config struct {
	bootstrap.Config

	Params    snowball.Parameters
	Consensus snowman.Consensus
}

Config wraps all the parameters needed for a snowman engine

type Engine

type Engine interface {
	common.Engine

	// Initialize this engine.
	Initialize(Config)
}

Engine describes the events that can occur to a Snowman instance.

The engine is used to fetch, order, and decide on the fate of blocks. This engine runs the leaderless version of the Snowman consensus protocol. Therefore, the liveness of this protocol tolerant to O(sqrt(n)) Byzantine Nodes where n is the number of nodes in the network. Therefore, this protocol should only be run in a Crash Fault Tolerant environment, or in an environment where lose of liveness and manual intervention is tolerable.

type OracleBlock

type OracleBlock interface {
	snowman.Block

	// Options returns the possible children of this block in the order this
	// validator prefers the blocks.
	Options() ([2]snowman.Block, error)
}

OracleBlock is a block that only has two valid children. The children should be returned in preferential order.

This ordering does not need to be deterministically created from the chain state.

type Transitive

type Transitive struct {
	bootstrap.Bootstrapper

	Params    snowball.Parameters
	Consensus snowman.Consensus
	// contains filtered or unexported fields
}

Transitive implements the Engine interface by attempting to fetch all transitive dependencies.

func (t *Transitive) QueryFailed(vdr ids.ShortID, requestID uint32) error

QueryFailed implements the Engine interface

func (*Transitive) Shutdown

func (t *Transitive) Shutdown() error

Shutdown implements the Engine interface
